Siemens has consistently set global benchmarks in sustainability reporting and corporate ESG performance. In 2025, Siemens achieved EcoVadis Platinum status with a record score of 85—placing it among the top 1% of participating companies worldwide.
Siemens integrates sustainability throughout its strategy, utilizing cutting-edge digital platforms to enable transparent ESG data management. Siemens Xcelerator, a low-code technology solution, allows real-time monitoring and governance of sustainability indicators at local and group levels. This digital infrastructure is extensively documented and aligns with international standards like the UN Global Compact and ISO 26000.
Climate action is driven by significant R&D investment (€2 billion per year), resulting in over 30,000 environmental technology patents. Siemens leverages these technologies to reduce both its own and customers’ GHG emissions, achieving system-level impact and enabling the decarbonization of entire industries. Over 90% of business lines contribute directly to resource efficiency and societal well-being.
Siemens Mobility, the transport and logistics division, is separately rated for sustainability, reflecting a strategic approach to sector-specific reporting. Labor and ethics themes are integrated into operational reporting, highlighting diversity, fair compensation, and supply chain compliance.
Siemens’ performance is externally validated by third parties, including regular audits and peer comparison against global industry leaders. The company incorporates interactive dashboards, comprehensive narratives, and accessibility features to address the needs of diverse stakeholders.
The Siemens approach offers a clear blueprint for leveraging digital transformation to advance practical, measurable, and impactful sustainability practices.
